1t is impossible for the Mexican
troops to capture them, for, when
pursued, they flee into the heart of
the Sierra Madre. The Mexicans are
anxious that Lieutenant Gatewood,
who induced the surrender of Ger
onimo, should be sent by the United
States to effect the removal of the
band from Mexican soil.

He shows up stronger in Dakota

all other preferences, there being

The general topic of interest dur
ing the past week has been the gil
gantic failure of the Fidelity Ma
tional Bank, of Cincinnati. 1t is
one of the noted smash-ups that
occasionally startIe financial circles.
1t is stated the losses will reach
$1,000, 600 to $4,000, 900. They
were Occasioned by Wild speculation
several millions being lost in the
recent wheat deal in Chicago. The
officers of the bank were engaged
in an attempt to corner wheat and
dropped, it is said, about So, 1000, 600.
Great excitement has prevailed in
Cincinnati, but no other failures
are reported in that city. E. l..
Harper, the Vice President of the
bank, is held responsible for
this reckless speculation. He and
the assistant cashier, Hopkins, af-
ter being arrested and giving bond.
were surrendered by their bonds
men and being unable to secure
others were lodged in Jail Thursday
night, and at last accounts were
still in prison.
The Fidelity National Bank was
a new institution with 1000, OOO
capital. The stockholders will lose
their entire stock and be compelled
to pay the additional liability, while
depositors are apt to lose largely.
1t is the most sensational bank fail
ure since that of Grant & Ward, OF
New York, four years ago.

Turn Them Ont.

There has been a great deal of un-
necessary fuss and absurd talk, il
seems to us, regarding the recent
flag business. The whole scheme Of
returning the flags now rotting away
in the War Department at Wash.
ington to the States to which they
originally belonged, appears to have
originated with Adjutant General
Drum, a Republican appointed by
Garfield, and there are intimations
that it was put up job. That's
what comes of not "turning the
rascals out" and we hope Presi-
dent Cleveland and Secretary
Endicott will be more careful here
after in approving the recommends
tions of Republican subordinates.-
1t would be better still not to have
any Republican subordinates.-

in May, but this year the meeting
was postponed until July owing to
the fact that the Association was
invited to White Sulphur as the
guests of the manager of the hotel
there. So they waited for the sea-

strongly urged to be present, as the
session will be one of unusual inter

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

Senator Sherman proposes that
Congress shall enact a law fixing
ssthe time, manner and circumstan-
-ees" of electing members of Con-
gress, and that the control of the
machinery of such elections shall be
placed exclusively in the hands of
the Government of the United States.
The plan cOntemplates a separate
election, apart from State or local
elections, so that the inspectors and
canvassers may be Federal appoint
ees, and the returns may be made
Independently of any State author
ity.
Following out the spirit and in
tent of Senator Sherman's PROPOSE
ton it would be necessary that polls
should be pOliced by the General
Government and that order should
be enforced and the ballot box pro-
tected by United States Marshals
backed by the troops of the regular
Army. In every State of the I'm
ion bayonets would line the way to
the polls and a repetition of the car
petbag regime in the reconstructed
States would become general all
over the country.
If it were possible for such a pre-
posterous position to succeed, how
long would it be before the election
of President of the United States
would be held under the same
auspices2 And how long would ii
be before popular elections become a
farce?
The only shadow of a constitution
al warranty for such usurpation is
Honnd in the provision that Con-
gress may by law make or alter
such regulations as the State Leg
islature may prescribe as to the time
place and manner of rejecting Repres-
entatives to Congress. There is no
probability that Mr.. Sherman s
dreams of Presidential and Con
gressional elections under bayonet
rule will ever be realized. But the
proposition shows what rapid ad-
vances the idea of centralized power
is making in the Republican mind.

When a few months ago Craig
Tolliver, the distinguished Kentucky
murderer and outlaw, was made a
deputy Sheriff with the expectation
that he would be converted into a
law-abiding citizens, the thing was
done for the same reason that polit-
zeal parties sometimes elect noisy
and turbulent demagogues and
malcontents to office-in order to
placate him and induce him to be-
have himself like a gentleman. And
the idea PANIED out in about the
same way. Like the political boil
tiers and bush-whackers when brib-
ed into peace with office, his eleva-
ton only makes him hungry for
greater things and puts him in posi-
ton to do more extensive devilment
if he didn't get them. Tolliver soon
aspired to be a judge, and as depu-
ty Sheriff of Rowan county so com
pletely did he terrorize the commu-
nifty that when he ran for the office
the people were afraid to vote
against him, and, murderer and ruff
fan though he was, duly elected a
judge. Then he began a wholesale
persecution of his enemies; a dozen
men or more were killed by him
and his gang and the chances of his
going to Congress or getting into
the gubernatorial chair were bright
enough, until last Wednesday. On
that day Tolliver met one DIR. Logan
and little party of friends who
were DESTROYS of avenging the muir
der of Logan's two sons whose blood
the Tolliver crowd had shed two
weeks before, and they filled Tolli-
ver's body SO full ofbullet holes that
the corpse was scarcely recognize
able. Since then peace has return
ed to Rowan county and the people
again breathe freely-all but the
twenty-one who fell victims to Judge
Tolliver's thirst for blood.-Inder.

1t hates the South because hatred OF
the South is it's principal stock in
trade. 1t has found by experience
that as the passions ofthe war grow
colder the power of the republican
party over the people grows weaker.
Sentiments of peace and good will

never find a sincere resting place in
